WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the

ECN-780-Q67 may result in permanent damage to the ECN-780-Q67

and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the ECN-780-Q67. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore

critical that whenever the ECN-780-Q67 is opened and any of the electrical components

are handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.

Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can

help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.

Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any

grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is

handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the

ground.

Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical

component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD

damage.

Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the

electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
